@WB6LST 4.3.2 approved, please update your copy - apologies, this was a rushed attempt to fix a known iOS 27.2 beta issue, resulting in breaking it entirely for a 'several hands' full. Please check for updates, should be out shortly

[Ray @WB6LST]

@2DoApp I knew you were working to fix it as always and appreciate the fast response. Thank you.

It’s my most used app for daily use—my “to do today” brain.

Thank you for your fast customer support. I recommend 2Do to everyone looking for a task manager.

@2DoApp Long time user here.

I just updated the iOS 2Do app and it broke the app. Won’t open, just immediately crashes. On iPhone iOS 26.7.1.

Thoughts?

Apple has announced forced global age verification through ID to comply with new child-safety laws thanks to governments like the UK, EU, AU, and even the United States

This news comes out after Discord is trying to do the same thing

🚨 BREAKING: Outrage ERUPTS after a foreign semitruck driver was spotted BARRELING down a Missouri highway *going the WRONG DIRECTION* directly into oncoming traffic

The truck is reportedly registered to a MINNESOTA-based company

You've GOT to be kidding me. This is how Americans GET KILLED!

The CDL system should be fully federalized, TOO MANY foreigners who can't read English signs are driving.

Don’t forget to charge your radio too.

Alright...if you're in the target area here, have NOAA weather band on standby. With a Baofeng (or any other VHF radio) you'll get at least one of the seven channels.

Test that reception now.

"People are getting mad because I said that America is founded on Christian values."

"The 13 colonies had their own state constitutions and nearly all of them had a declaration of faith."

"They professed that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Not Allah, not some other guy, Jesus Christ."

"55/56 of the original signer of the Declaration of Independence were Bible believing, God fearing Christians."

America has always been and always will be a Christian Nation!

I just had a great business trip ruined by the attitude of two employees (one was a supervisor) at @JohnWayneAirport.
I should have chosen to fly at the other airport. Saying to a flyer “sorry I hurt your feelings” in a rude & condescending tone was unbelievable to witness. Wow.

NOW: Newt Gingrich says a GOP “no” vote on Trump’s bill isn’t just a vote for the LARGEST tax increase in history.....it’s political suicide.

The former Speaker of the House laid out exactly what’s at stake for Republicans about to vote on Trump’s signature “Big Beautiful Bill” tonight:

“A no vote here for a Republican, is not only a vote for the largest tax increase in history, but it’s probably a vote to retire.”

He warned that voting against Trump’s biggest domestic policy win would be catastrophic for any GOP member:

“A no vote here on President Trump’s biggest domestic policy and the absolute centre of his administration is a vote that is suicidal.”

“I think that will be communicated to them in a pretty vivid and direct way.”

Gingrich called out Rep. Thomas Massie by name:

“Massie’s already experienced this. There’s one poll out already that shows he’s at 29% for reelection as people back home realize he’s anti-Trump.”

He left no room for doubt about what this vote means:

“In the end this is real simple for Republicans: President Trump has staked EVERYTHING on moving the economy, on reforming the government, on freeing up energy, on a whole range of issues in THIS bill.”

“The people have been working for this bill for 14 months and you’re either on the team or you’re not on the team.”

“Is the bill perfect? No, it’s not perfect.”

I just heard the sonic boom from the Dragon Fram2 re-entry off of the coast of Oceanside California. I couldn’t see it, but heard it. Very cool.

[Signal @signalapp]

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.

In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:
https://t.co/xvVVdPDhSs

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.

@TechloreInc @ProtonPrivacy Remember BlackBerry? (The once gold-standard of encrypted messaging.)

Remember what they were asked to do, and caved?

Remember what happened next? (Other countries made the same demand.)

Where is BlackBerry today because of it?

History looks to be repeating itself.

[Ray @WB6LST]

@TutaPrivacy This is exactly what happened to BlackBerry. Exactly the same. Other countries will soon be demanding the same. Bet on it.
